Farmed fish isn’t natural and don’t have the same nutritional quality. It can actually be worse for you. Given we live in capitalism, the odds of you getting high quality farmed fish is extremely slim.

On of the big goals, if they can get there is to be able to breed more fingerlings than they can farm. These extras could maybe be released back into the wild to help rebuild natural populations.
Nope. The less wild tuna the better it sells. So like he said these men are businessmen. They couldn’t really give a fuck about tuna extinction in the wild.
They aren't difficult to breed if you leave them alone in the wild to do their thing. Most fish are difficult to breed in captivity except fish that are kept in the aquarium trade for many years and they become less picky about conditions needed.
John Burgess good luck telling people to leave wild populations of one of the tastiest fish alone. We need aquaculture operations like this to reinforce the natural populations of these fish. It’s like having a backup. After reading a few of your comments it seems like you simply don’t want these operations to work, and you dont even reply to people picking you apart. You been watching alexandra morton videos?
The same breakthroughs have been made in the ornamental fish trade also. Ie captive breeding tangs, gobies, blennys and the like instead of depleting the oceans stocks whereas several others, but mainly clownfish, (nemos) have been captive bred for years already. Great news for the Oceans Wildlife. 👏👏
That’s all well and good and an amazing achievement. But the bottom line should be good water quality and a sustainable ecosystem for the planet. It’s not just the top of the food chain that’s in trouble. You have no food chain without the small critters. Taking food out of the oceans to feed captive bred tuna is perhaps just as bad as taking adults from the wild.
@@Kim-zu1nl Don't be so sure, you know things are going wrong when people start harvesting krill from the oceans, one of the first links in the food chain.
@@Andysfishing they have harvested krill for the aquarium industry for decades i can literally go to the pet store and in the frozen fish food are large thin slabs of krill, bloodworms, daphnia ect.
@@SarpyTurt just because it’s available doesn’t mean it’s sustainable. The north Atlantic’s fish stocks crashed in the 20th century and still haven’t recovered. You can bet that right before the crash fish were being harvested and sold abundantly in northeast North America.
Simon you should look at insect farming as a protein source for aqua culture - both for prawns and fish. This is the key to making aqua culture viable at an enormous scale and removing the pressure on krill and other sources of fish meal which are currently being caught in the wild oceans. Can give you real insights on this for a program.
fish that eat other fish need all the nutrients and fats a fish has ,you whould have to supliment artificialy with other products if u give them insects
David Webb the jizz makes the water thicker making it harder to swim meaning they think they are migrating thousands of miles, along with my state of the art lighting and heating system (radiator and lamp) this induces breeding behaviour
farmed caviar taste better than the real thing. I don't see why farmed tuna wont. As long as they're not pumping too many antibiotics. Luckily tuna are pretty resilient so they won't need to
Must have missed the "clean room environment". They are loaded with antibios and santizers to keep disease away from their captive population. Tuna isn't meant to be in a swimming pool. They are meant to cover vast distances. Penning them up opens the door to all kinds of diseases and that takes sanitizers and antibios to keep in check.
Feeding them out weight the cost.Same goes to farming salmon,some farm are closing due to the cost of feeding them....Blue Fin ain't small and they eat 18 hours a day
His comparison to the cattle industry is very interesting. He doesn't mention the negative aspects either. I'd like to know what resources have to go into a relatively small operation like this. Small in relation to the scale required in a few decades from now.
If people can find a way to make Aquaculture and Aquaponics better, then both of those field can literally save the world from hunger. Fish are pretty much the only thing that you can grow in that extreme of densities because they stack on top of each other in the water column. On top of that, you're now providing an alternative source of fish to wild caught, which will in turn bring back wild populations. The reason that people have such negative connotations associated with aquaculture is because in the 70's/80's, a TON of anti-fish farming propaganda was released, and all the fish farmers thought it would blow over (so they never rebutted). Now, though, that we're learning how to raise fish better, the feed is getting better, etc. I don't understand why people still have these feelings. It's like people (like alexandra morton) don't want this to work, when it could do enormous good if perfected. Fish farms produce FAR less contamination than poultry, swine and beef farming. The Feed conversion rate in Fish farming is more effective than all of those aswell, and a lot of the "fish farms produce toxic fish" articles are either based on old evidence, or contain biased samples. I'll agree we have a ways to go before this is perfect, but in order to get there we need fish farms to be able to perform research and take some risks without the public trying to shut them down constantly, or treating all of them the same.
The same people who complain about “dirty farm raised fish” have no complaints eating disgusting factory farmed meat(beef/pork/chicken) and are apathetic to wiping out ocean species because the fish “taste better wild”.
A great idea. I hope they are successful in tuna farming. Most of the salmon currently sold comes from salmon Farms and it's not wild caught in the ocean
Friendly reminder: the southern bluefin tuna is critically endangered. Austrailia fish this species of tuna, by the use of purse seine. However, they are not taken onboard but taken to huge tanks, as in the video, to be fattened up. The problem is that, besides that we still fish the southern bluefin, plenty of juvenile tuna is taken from the stock. The overall effect of this is at the moment not fully known. I would be careful to say that a measure like this actually help the conservation of the bluefin tuna. A decrease in the amount of catch for a considerable time (5 years at least) is probably a much better alternative
Did they think of making another huge pool with another water temperature, bond with this one through a strong water current that make the tunas think they are traveling or something like that? As far as i think i know, they guide themselves through the electromagnetic fields of the earth, maybe they could recreate that aswell, and change the temperature of the original pool while they are in the tunnel for them to believe they actually changed of area
The fish’s waste products can be harvested through de salinization (separated with a flocculant that doesn’t bind to salt or remove it from the solution, re diluted in fresh H2O and the flocculant released by electrolytic cathodic/anodic target material accumulation, and used as a hydroponic nitrogen source for plants

But the tunas have like magnetic stuff in their head right? Like an inbuilt compass. And also they will remember where they swim somehow.
